Summary of Test Method4.1 An appropriate filter is pre-weighed to the nearest 1 10-8 kg (0.01 mg), outgassed, and the background surface areameasured prior to nanoparticle collection

24、 in an inhalation exposure chamber. A sufficient amount of nanoparticles (to provide atleast the minimum surface area required for reliable results for the instrument used) are collected on the filter, the filter withparticles is post-weighed, outgassed, and total surface area measured. The surface

25、area concentration of the airborne nanoparticlesin the exposure chamber is estimated by subtracting the background filter surface area from the total surface area of the filter withnanoparticles and normalized by the volume of air sampled, with the final result expressed as m2/m3 (LeBouf et al., 201

26、1) al. (5).).4.2 Multipoint BET AnalysesVolume of gas adsorbed at 77 K (liquid nitrogen temperature) is determined as 10-6 m3 (cm3)corrected to standard temperature and pressure for a minimum of five relative pressures within the linear BET transformation rangeof the physical adsorption isotherm cha

The linear range is thatwhich results in a least squares correlation coefficient of 0.999 or greater for the relationship between BET transformation andrelative pressure. Typically, the linear range includes relative pressures

28、between 0.05 and 0.30.4.3 It is important to use an analytical balance to determine the sample mass. The physical adsorption instrument measures thetotal amount of gas adsorbed onto the sample under analysis. The sample mass is then used to normalize the measured adsorptionresults. Any error in the

29、sample mass will affect the final BET surface area.4.4 Calculations are based on the BET equation, as required by the instrument being used for the determination. The instrumentpressure tolerance (pressure range that must be maintained within a sample cell to accept a valid data point) is 6.6 Pa. In

As such, the cross-sectional area of the krypton adsorbate used in calculations shouldbe reported with the BET surface area r

Significance and Use5.1 A tiered strategy for characterization of nanoparticle properties is necessary to draw meaningful conclusions concerningdose-response relationships observed during inhalation toxicology experiments. This tiered strategy includes characterization ofnanoparticles as p

32、roduced (that is, measured as the bulk material sold by the supplier) and as administered (that is, measured atthe point of delivery to a test subject) (Oberdorster et al., 2005) al. (6).).5.2 Test Methods B922 and C1274 and ISO Standards 9277 and ISO 18757 exist for determination of the as produced

33、 surfacearea of bulk metal and metal oxide powders. During the delivery of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles in inhalation exposurechambers, the material properties may undergo change and therefore have properties that differ from the material as produced.

Therefore, it is necessary to remove these adsorbedcontaminants prior to surface area analysis (Anderson, 1

36、975; Gregg and Sing, 1982) (Anderson (2,), Gregg and Sing (3).).Outgassing is performed by evacuating the sample (typically at 10-1 Pa) and can be accelerated by using elevated temperatures,provided no irreversible sample changes occur.
